Many WTA bus stops go unused, others are bustling (Traffic Talk blog)

Some bus stops sit beside the road day in and day out, and they never get a friend to keep them company.

Others are bustling hubs of activity.

I just studied some recently released Whatcom Transportation Authority ridership data. The data, which comes from a survey, looks at the average weekday bus stop usage.

I counted 110 stops where not a single person boarded or got off a bus (at least when the surveyors were there). Not counting the downtown and Cordata stations, Western Washington University-related stops were the most heavily used.
